Majestic Mountains

What I've been working on:

This is straight from Bonnie Hunter's Free Patterns page. It's amazingly easy and eats up a lot of odd sized pieces. You know, the scraps that are larger than 10" square and smaller than a fat quarter, that you just don't want to cut up into a bunch of small pieces. And it was super fun to make. I just couldn't stop. I made this one twin-sized for a charity quilt, but then fell in love with it and am keeping it instead. I plan to FMQ different border patterns into each horizontal stripe so it's like a "border bible". Can't wait to see it all textured!

Still working on Mom's Log Cabin quilt. I know, I know. It's taking a long time. But, I don't work on it every weekend. Nor do I work on it all day, when I do. I want some piecing time, too. Here's a recent pic of the feather textures in the blue (which is all done). I've drawn the flower basket template for the white squares three times now, but I think I'm ready to go there.

This is perhaps the most in-depth I've ever quilted a large quilt. And I'm lovin' it. But just taking my time to keep from 1) burning out, and, 2) rushing and making mistakes.

Thanks for Visiting! Come Back Soon!

Welcome!

I'm a writer, quilter, photographer. Pretty much in that order, too. I also like to fool around in the kitchen. I'm Mommy to two adorable kitties and wife to one hell of a great guy.
